It's a mess. I use CoinStats for several months, and tried this once again, simply adding my portfolio, it is simply un-doable. Prices and values all over the place, I can't enter a simple portfolio, currency, amount I posses, and calculated market value, why is this so hard?

For example I try to just simply add:
1.5 BTC
5800 ADA
2 ETH
3 LTC

It should be as simple as that. Just enter these values and track current portfolio value, why on earth is this so complicated......

That's why I stopped BTC usage.
Buy Ether and exchange that with other altcoin
or
Buy ether send it to other exchange (cost 0.5 cent) then convert the Eth to BTC (lose or gain 1 or 2$ here, depend on market) then buy any coin with BTC.

So far, I have been surviving in crypto world without any BTC transaction for last couple of months.

I hope you both realize you’re highlighting the obvious here. Everyone has been singing this same song forever now.

I wouldn’t recommend transacting using BTC, but I thought everyone knew that by now. Just use it as an investment. By the way, you won’t see me take my gold bar to go grocery shopping , I’m just saying. But if **** hits the fan I will sell that mofo and use the cash. I think you guys get the point.

Who of you wouldn't mind receiving your paycheck in BTC? That's something to think about right? I'm very curious who would dare to say YES to that. And that's exactly what 'volatile' means in everyday life.....

@henry_hayes - BTC or any other altcoin for that matter, I should have said Crypto instead of BTC. It's just to emphasise that USD / EUR and the like have one thing going for them and that's stability. It would get pretty boring if things were that stable in Cryptoland I'd say.

@D-DIG I guess that highlights the two schools of thought on crypo..and I'll preface this by saying I've only been into it since Sept 2016, so my views are ever evolving. BUT, it seems to me as if there are traders/speculators who are tied to the USD as their ultimate frame of reference for value and so they like volatility, and then there are the "true believers" who are HODL'ing and waiting for the barter/metal/gold/paper/digital evolution to take place who may like a little more stability as it would truly enable them to go USD-free. Like I said though these thoughts are ever evolving so I'd love to hear anyone's feedback!

That was the whole purpose of my statement: it's too volatile (if you can't let usd go as reference). Unfortunately I cant pay my bills using BTC. If that were so the recent dip wouldn't have bothered me. What bothered me was it going down compared to EUR (in my case)..... Got your point, curious as to what others have to say about this.

Ledger wallet (chrome app) officially sucks. Transaction of ETH failed due to not enough gas. What do I know. Raise gas, try again, no luck. Now it says 'not enough funds'. Well I DO have enough funds, blockchain transaction failed. I sure hope I did not lose my ETH now somewhere in cyberspace!

Already saw I only lose my gas not my amount of eth. However the Ledger wallet is confused now, as far as the Chrome app concernes I'm out of ETH. Yet it displays an amount of ETH nonetheless. Stranges things.
